Thought the dude in Maplin looking for a magnet to repolarise his head was pretty funny.

this is awful stuff

The grotesque and unfunny Patrick McDonnell plays more obnoxious characters - does he ever do otherwise?

Eoin Mclove and the girl are just not funny, the other guy isn't too bad, tapping the guy on the dart with the newspaper and wanting a George Best tattoo on his arse.

The Georgie best tattoo on the arse joke was the best. I wet myself laughing, he's hilarious.

Didn't think muh of the girl last night though, having said that the traffic warden clip in the first episode was kinda funny. She was telling your name she's drop the fine if your man slept with him. Classic that!

You just had to laugh at guy wanting to try out the bath.
But I agree, the scenes with your one were shocking..
They were so bad, they were funny.

The goldfish part was the best I could watch the courier guys reaction all night. A lot of it was really **** like that hotel stuff I ended up just changing the channel every time that came up...

This is yet another attempt by RTE to copy a format and do it badly. The award for the most unfunny person ever has to go to yer one in the hotels. What the hell was that for? Chuckled a bit at yer man with the headphones and the courier but that was just a very mild chuckle. RTE should just stick to importing comedy. Leave it to the professionals or get some decent producers in.

Couldnt agree me. The girl is just terrible. I think she's trying to play the dry wit funny, but fails oh so miserably.
THe bloke that was on Fr Ted is woeful, but the other chap salvages the show somewhat.

I always thought, when watching shows like Trigger Happy, that the Irish would be great targets with our wit. Shame this show just fails to tap it right.
I mean, Murphys Candid Camera was classic.... but this just shows total lack of originality.

Enjoyed the first episode but thought this one wasn't as good. The Gorge Best sketch was so offensive. It made it unfunnier when he kept pulling down his trousers. Don't find that type of thing funny.

LFCFan - I wouldn't dare watch some of the programs I've just found that you watch (done a search). Nip/Tuck. :eek: You are a big fan of American TV and its no coincedence that American's wouldn't be really into this type of humour. We all have our own tastes and you'd be doing well to find anyone around my area that wouldn't find Naked Camera funny. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its crap. I think a lot of its down to the fact that I can relate to the likes of the person on the dart or the courier that makes it so funny.

I can honestly say that I never once watched any of the list below that I've taken from one of your posts:

Arrested Development
Nip/Tuck
Scrubs
Las Vegas
Cold Case
Stargate SG1
Stargate Atlantis
Joey (jury still out)
Desperate Housewives (jury still out here too)
Rescue Me (Looks like it has potential)

orangerooster - out of your list below I've only watched Fr.Ted.

1: Band of Brothers.
2: Family Guy.
3: Fr.Ted.
4: New Battlestar Galactica.
5: Futurama.
6: Blackadder.
7: Scrubs.
8: DS9.
9: Frasier.
10: World at War.

Maybe I don't watch a lot of TV which probably explains it but I would never laugh at the Simpsons or Scrubs. I couldn't stop laughing on Monday evening though. I will admit though, the woman and the tatoo fella weren't that funny.

Sorry Eirebhoy, but you have a very warped sense of humour of you don't like the likes of Scrubs(the general concensus is that this is a well above average comedy) but laugh your ass off at Naked Camera (where the general consensus is that it's pure cack) :eek:

By the way, did you also like The Cassidys and Upwardly Mobile?

Never heard of he Cassidys or Upwardly Mobile.

If there was nothing on, I'd watch Scrubs (with Digital there's always something on though ). I've seen bits and pieces but never watched a full episode. I'm not saying its a bad show, just not really into American sitcoms. I'd also watch friends and I think its a brilliant show but I don't think I've ever laughed at it. Not my type of humour and I don't watch it for the comedy tbh.

BTW - I'm not saying my sense of humour isn't warped. I'm not alone though. If I went into my local tonight I'd be doing well to find anyone that watches Scrubs but we'd all be able to sit there and watch an episode of Naked Camera. Its just something that I can imagine the whole pub glooed to if it was on in the afternoon. Can't say the same about American sitcoms though. The show being Irish has a lot to do with it btw.
